Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Yin Yin's question remains unanswered for the time being, but after defeating Ta Ta, the emperor also began to deal with the officials who were preoccupied with factional strife and did not do practical things for the court and the people.

Several of Wang Xiang's subordinates, whose performance was mediocre and who owed their promotions entirely to him, were reassigned to less important positions. Those officials involved in factional strife but who had accomplished real results were temporarily spared by the emperor.

As far as Wang Xiang was concerned, as long as these people were still around, the core of the Wang faction would not be shaken. He simply regarded them as a few insignificant pawns to appease the emperor's anger.

However, the fact that the emperor had not summoned Wang's prized son since his regular duties made him somewhat worried.

Wang Xiang created several more opportunities for that nephew, but the emperor was determined not to pay attention, so he could only regretfully give up on this junior and instead select other suitable people to cultivate.

Yin Yin dismissed the news as soon as she heard it; a member of the Wang family abandoned by Prime Minister Wang was not worth her time.

What she didn't expect was that this incident would lead to another problem affecting the Zhan family.

The weather was hot a few days ago, and everyone was reluctant to go out, including Yu Miaoqi. As a result, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for some time.

Yesterday it rained heavily, but today the sun came out. However, the weather was still cooler than usual. Yu Miaoqi came to the Ning'an Prince's Mansion early in the morning to visit her daughter and grandson.

"It's only been a few days, and Bei'an has already learned to turn over," Yu Miaoqi said with great surprise. "He's still so young."

“It’s been more than two months, almost three months, so it’s normal for him to be able to roll over,” Yinyin said, reaching out to roll her son back over. “But he can only roll to the right; he can’t roll to the left yet.”

“They finally managed to turn things around, and instead of encouraging them, you turned them back again,” Yu Miaoqi said, looking at Xiao Bei’an, who was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on. Her heart melted.

"It's only because Bei'an has a good temper that he lets you do whatever you want. If it were your older brother when he was a child, he would cry all night. Even your nephews and nieces used to make a lot of noise and keep your sister-in-law and the others awake at night."

Yin Yin keenly noticed that Yu Miaoqi's interest suddenly waned when Wang Yingqing was mentioned. She felt a little strange, but still said, "Didn't Mother say that I was easy to take care of when I was little, always smiling and obedient? Bei'an must be like me."

“That’s not wrong,” Yu Miaoqi laughed. “When you were little, you were tiny, like a glutinous rice ball, cheerful and always smiling.”

Yinyin's face showed a hint of smugness as she casually asked, "Didn't my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece come today?"

“They went to see their maternal grandfather,” Yu Miaoqi teased Bei An, but anyone could sense the anger in her heart.

Yinyin pretended not to notice and advised, "Sister-in-law's parents have come? That's a good thing. Sister-in-law hasn't seen her parents for so many years since she married my brother."

Yu Miaoqi understood her meaning and couldn't help but sigh: "If the in-laws come to the capital just to visit relatives, let alone asking Wang to take the two children back to stay with them for a few days, even if I asked them to prepare a place and invite them to stay at my residence, I would only keep them company and talk and play with them."

Seeing that Yu Miaoqi looked a little annoyed, Yinyin quickly coaxed her, "My mother is so good."

Yu Miaoqi was interrupted, and her anger was not as strong as before. Her mood also eased a bit. She gently patted her hand and continued, "Unfortunately, our in-laws were invited by Prime Minister Wang to act as intermediaries."

Yinyin immediately understood: "What does Prime Minister Wang think of his elder brother? He treats him like a king when he needs him, but throws him away and slaps him to the ground when he doesn't. Now he's suddenly remembered and plans to use his sister-in-law's parents and connections to ease the tension between his elder brother and Prime Minister Wang?"

“That’s right,” Yu Miaoqi said, seeing that Yin Yin understood immediately, and couldn’t help but share her thoughts with her. “No wonder Prime Minister Wang raised a daughter like Wang Yingman. It turns out that the whole family has the same temperament.”

This only mentioned Wang Xiang and Wang Yingman, without mentioning Wang Yingqing. Clearly, Yu Miaoqi still has some expectations for Wang Yingqing. It's just unknown how Wang Yingqing, who has a good relationship with her elder brother, will choose.

In Yin Yin's opinion, it was a terrible move for the Prince to lead his men against Zhan Zheng in court without considering the circumstances, all in an attempt to promote his own family. Now that he's gotten himself into trouble, he's dragged in Zhan Zheng's father-in-law, and it's unclear whether he's trying to appease him or threaten him.

Wang Yingqing was caught in the middle, and she was probably in a lot of pain too. On one side was her loving husband, her mother-in-law who treated her like a daughter, and her current family. On the other side were her biological parents and the clan that had supported and raised her. Even if it were Yinyin in her shoes, she would feel overwhelmed.

But Yin Yin is confident. Neither Zhan Zheng nor Yu Miaoqi would put themselves in such a situation. They would only want to support Yin Yin, not put pressure on her or put her in a dilemma. This is the biggest difference between them and Wang Yingqing's parents.

If you said that it was just Wang Yingqing's parents who had come from afar and that she was simply meeting relatives, not only would Yu Miaoqi not believe it, but even Yin Yin wouldn't believe it.

For no other reason than a single word from Prime Minister Wang, Wang Yingqing's parents sent their daughter all the way to the capital to live with him. The fact that Wang Yingqing had only paid her respects to him for so many years without ever visiting her revealed how impure her parents' purpose was in coming to the capital this time.

Thinking of this, Yin Yin also felt a little sighing. She could understand whatever choice Wang Yingqing made, but if she chose to listen to her parents and help Wang Xiang make peace, then from then on, her relationship with Zhan Zheng and Yu Miaoqi would be tainted with some resentment.

Yinyin had a lot on her mind, but she didn't say a word out loud. She just used Xiao Bei'an to make Yu Miaoqi happy.

Xiao Bei'an was too young. After rolling over twice, he immediately lay down on the ground. No matter how Yin Yin tried to get him to roll over, he refused to roll over again. So Yin Yin simply took a rattle drum to coax him to lift his head.

The way he struggled to support himself, even puffing out his chest, made Yu Miaoqi chuckle. Especially when he got tired of lifting his head, he slumped to the side, half-rolling over, his face full of confusion, which Yu Miaoqi found utterly endearing.

After a while, Bei'an got tired, yawned a few times, snuggled close to Yin Yin, and obediently fell asleep.

"He's asleep already?" Yu Miaoqi lowered her voice. "Apart from when you were little, I've never seen a more obedient child than our Bei'an. Shall we take him away?"

Yinyin shook her head and replied in a breathy voice, "He'll wake up if I move him. Ever since he had intestinal bloating a few days ago, I've been massaging his tummy to make him feel better. He can only sleep peacefully by my side during the day. He used to refuse to sleep by himself at night. Now that his intestinal bloating is much better, he can sleep soundly in the side room by himself."

In Yu Miaoqi's mind, Yinyin was still quite young, but now she could already talk skillfully about taking care of children in front of her, which made Yu Miaoqi feel both emotional and gratified.

"In the blink of an eye, Yinyin, you've grown up too."
